“NCQA is proud to partner with these esteemed organizations that together are focused on the value-based agenda,” said Margaret E. O’Kane, NCQA President. ““Providing APM credits for doctors participating in advanced payment models under Medicare Advantage will encourage value-based arrangements and advance the nationwide movement to reward clinicians for the value of the care they provide, rather than the volume of care.”

The organizations call on Secretary Price to “level the playing field and afford risk adjustments in the MA the same credit under MACRA as risk arrangements in traditional Medicare.”
